MikeN Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 For me, BK's 2002 show (Fear and Trembling) is still the darkest music put on the field. That opener - holy cow. Saw them in San Antonio - they had the crowd in their palms by the end of the first tune. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralTsoChicken Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Yeah, but they played the very uplifting and triumphant finale. Besides, Shostakovich and his family were evacuated from the city and he ended up finishing the Symphony elsewhere (in the Crimea, IIRC). (Sorry, super Shostakovich nerd here) It is also argued that this "triumphant finale" is nothing more than a movement to appease the Zhdanov crew because it sounded more patriotic. Much like some of his other pieces the movement seems out of context. Shosty lovers unite!

Stryfe Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Daughtery and Mackey are pretty prolific atonal composers. Daugherty* and Mackey are pretty prolific composers for wind band, but they're not atonal. Even the dark stuff like Metropolis Symphony and Asphalt Cocktail is not atonal; it's purposefully dissonant. "Atonal" refers to a total lack of a key center, and any music used in drum corps is usually far less atonal than it is purposefully dissonant. Besides, both of them also write some pretty solidly tonal stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeme70 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Orlando Magic 90-92 '88 Marauders - all Dracula show. There was a scaffold backfield dressed up as a castle, complete with a drawbridge. The colorguard all started off behind a forest of dead trees, and the marching members were all dressed as Dracula - hair slicked back, faces powdered to look pale, cravat, capes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMadMan Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Yeah, I have watched the 95 BD show about 6 times and I just can't get into it. The ballad is fantastic and that tenor feature after the big intro after the ballad is BALLS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
